Bill Lofy, a former aide to U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, will discuss
Wellstone's life and legacy at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 14, in 16
Robertson Hall.

The lecture is titled "Paul Wellstone: The Life of a Passionate
Progressive," which also is the title of Lofy's new biography of the
late Minnesota senator.

Lofy is a senior trainer and writer for Wellstone Action, a national
center for training and leadership development for the progressive
movement. The center was founded in January 2003, three months after
Wellstone died in a plane crash while campaigning for a third term in
the Senate.

Lofy worked for Wellstone for six years as an organizer, communications
specialist and travel aide. In 2001, after working briefly on
Wellstone's campaign, Lofy came to Princeton, where he earned an MPA
degree from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 2003.
